From most accounts its still mostly back ordered and there was a confirmed 2nd shipment. So maybe I got ahead of myself on the 3rd, but still... hopefully it does enough business to warrant a NA release

Motion Controls only affect certain games though, while graphics and sound affect EVERY game. You can't seriously tell me that playing a RPG on a system with motion controls makes the controls "next gen" can you? There's a reason why certain Wii games support the classic controller and GC controller.

Serious question, what about the Eye Toy and Eye Kinetic and all those "Eye" games on PS2? Didn't they do much of the same shit that the Wii controller and Wii Sports/Wii Play does? If I'm mistaken, sorry, but that's what I remember from them.
